Good Samaritan Society - Sioux Falls Village - Hearthstone sits at 4001 South Marion Road in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and belongs to a network of elder care run by the Good Samaritan Society, and the place has about 40 beds, which makes it a medium-sized community, and folks can pick from different housing types like studios, one-bedroom apartments, shared rooms, or layouts for couples, which can be helpful for married seniors who want to stay together, and sometimes people have pets in their apartments, as there are some pet policy considerations for older pet owners, and the place also offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care, so people probably won't have to move out if their health needs change.
Hearthstone offers help for all types of daily activities, so seniors get assistance with things like bathing, dressing, walking, taking medicines, going to the bathroom, and even help with incontinence, and if memory care becomes important, they have secure memory care units for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with staff available around the clock, and licensed nurses on-site, which helps when people need closer attention or health monitoring-plus they've got personal and individualized care plans so folks can get care matched to their needs. Housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and three daily meals come as part of regular living, and there's a snack shop, too, for extra bites during the day, and they can arrange special diets if someone has hypertension or diabetes.
You'll find a good number of activities going on, like group outings, wellness classes, music therapy, tabletop games, gardening, fitness schedules, movie entertainment, art programs, social evenings, and even some pet therapy, and there are spaces like a reading room, game room, health area, salon, yard areas, walking or jogging paths, and things like a jacuzzi and steam room for folks who enjoy those, plus they've got a beauty shop and a massage therapist, so people who like those services don't need to leave the community. There's scheduled transportation for doctor's appointments, shopping, and spiritual services, so getting around is easier as people age, and staff help with getting in and out of baths, dressing, and even reminders for medicines and bathroom visits.
The place makes a point to offer wellness checks, regular health assessments, and has an on-call nurse, and caregivers support folks with daily routines and keep safety in mind with 24/7 secured premises and emergency pendants. Kennedy Residential Living Center, part of the same overall Sioux Falls Village, also serves seniors aged 65 and over with staff on duty all day and night, while The Inn on Westport provides more personal help with bathing, dressing, and salon services for those who need it. Hearthstone stands as one part of the full community, serving up to 40 residents under its assisted living license, with other sections of Sioux Falls Village raising the total capacity for the site, so there's a good range of support whether someone's independent, needs more care, has dementia, or is looking for rehabilitation after an illness or surgery. The community puts focus on comfort and a sense of home, with plenty of ways for people to keep busy, stay active, and feel social, while also knowing they've got help close by whenever they need it.
